Abstract

Derivatives of general chemical formula L(I) and (IV) are used in the topical treatment of diseases of the epithelial tissues, like psoriasis (epidermis) and ulcerative colitis L(lower intestine). These compounds display a high efficacy when administered for example by epicuaneous route in the case of dermatological illnesses like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and other similar affections, or when administered by oral or rectal route in the case of diseases of the epithelia of the lower intestine like the ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
